The Department for Transport published its Transport Resilience Strategy on 2 November 2026, setting out its approach for the next five to ten years. Annex B lists 22 commitments, including the launch of a Transport Resilience Academy and a new Transport Resilience Network, putting into practice the UK Government Resilience Action Plan published in July 2025.
